The Night Of

[Walt Flanigan]

HBO’s new crime drama. Three episodes in and it’s been excellent television.


“After a night of partying with a female stranger, a man wakes up to find her stabbed to death and is charged with her murder.”

I'm 5 in and love it - especially all the people from the Wire! Is the best dark thriller type show since the first season of True Detective.

I've only seen the first two episodes but it feels really slow. Hoping it picks up in the next few.

Slow and brooding is kind of the style of the show. The first one was edge of your seat stuff IMO so the second one was always going to be a little slower. I can say the 5th episode picks up quite a bit.

 

[El Diablo]

i think they've all been excellent

3rd episode was definitely better than the 2nd.

I've enjoyed all the episodes so far but definitely picks up when Nas goes to prison.

Watched the first ep last night, looks good.

 

[Dogs Of War]

Watched the first ep last night, looks good.

Different pace for the rest. But loving it so far.

I would like some more tips on what really happened.

The last ep was a little slow but they've opened up some more possibilities as to who could have murdered the girl. Nas is an interesting fellow and doesn't appear to be the person you think he is early on. Has a bit of a violent streak, is surprisingly comfortable in prison and keeps lying to his lawyers. I just hope this isn't heading toward a Primal Fear type ending.

Who wouldn't get angry when put in the situation he is in, geez at that age I would have been a mad man if it happened to me.

Yeah but there were incidents before all this. Like when he pushed that kid down the stairs.

3 Episodes in i'm loving this so far.

I just have a bad feeling that the show is going to feel like its constantly building to something only to disappoint in the end. I hope I'm wrong, I do like it but it hasnt 'wow'ed me yet I guess. There's only 2 episodes left, personally I'm also hoping there's a satisfactory resolution to the case rather than a 'we'll never know', regardless of how realistic that may be.

Episode 7 is ridiculously good. As good or better than episode 1. Sets up the last one nicely.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Yep, still have no idea what's going to happen
